recently stumbled upon the following site:
"Broken Toys
Random Comments About Games and Tractors"
I started browsing through some threads / comments picked at random - and some stuff looked oddly familiar:
"THE UNBEARABLE DARKNESS OF ULTIMA ONLINE":
http://www.brokentoys.org/2004/12/18/the-unbearable-darkness-of-ultima-online/
[Any oldtimers left with some Nev-related déjà-vu feelings?
just one example:
"full loot" [UO] = utter empire destruction, you know like in the early days of Neveron when large scale landwar got introduced and several large empires got decimated?]
another nice thread [Warning! Four long pages full of comments, many of them worth reading - and or thinking about, at least IMVHO ...]:
"See you in Ultima Online… no, Shadowbane… uh, DAOC… hey, SWG… wait, Horizons…. Vanguard?… Darkfall! YEAH! Totally see you in Darkfall, newb!":
http://www.brokentoys.org/2007/07/23/see...age-1/#comments
Plus numerous other threads worth reading and or thinking about at the "Broken Toys" site.
I've barely touched the surface of the archives thus far, basically I am still busy exploring new territories of the archives at random ...
Just some food for thought for people who are interested in online gaming history / nostalgia in general - and or some social phenomenons (like player killing (PKing), griefers / gankers, PKers, anti PKers, carebears, etc.) related to MMO RPGs etc. ...
So if you are willing to look beyond the horizon ...
Have a nice day / night.

another golden 'oldie' ("December 10th, 2007") from the "Broken Toys" web site:
"How To Make A Game With ‘PvP Done Right’
December 10th, 2007":
http://www.brokentoys.org/2007/12/10/how-to-make-a-game-with-pvp-done-right/comment-page-1/#comments
Any Nev-related ("Noob Cannibal Island" (TM)) déjà-vu feelings, anyone ...  ?
Just some more food for thought for a long overdue redesign / overhaul of Neveron's "Noob Island" concept ...
Have a nice day / night.

Are you willing - and or 'tough' enough - to look beyond the currently available PvP horizon?
[Warning! There could be some Player vs. Player interaction with 'tough' / harsh consequences ahead, probably with way more consequences than you ever dared to ask for, so you better be careful what you really wish for ... ]
"Darkfall NDA Lifted, UO Wants Their Backpacks Back":
http://www.brokentoys.org/2009/02/18/dar...age-1/#comments
"The Mordred Problem":
http://www.brokentoys.org/2009/02/19/the-mordred-problem/comment-page-1/#comments
Zero security space at Eve not rough and or simply not dangerous enough for your 'hardcore' elitist PvP tastes?
Looking to revive your old UO style gank squads / ganking habits?
Can't wait to get ganked and looted on sight repeatedly - like in the good ol' Ultima Online days?
Just some food for thought for all you old fashioned - more or less 'dedicated' - hardcore PvP-ers out there - good news, folks, looks like your corpse is needed out there once again - soon ...
Have a nice day / night, watch your back - and don't get ganked and or looted way too frequently  ...

*** You are ignoring this user ***
The question is not how far, the question is do you possess the constitution, the depth of faith, to go as far as needed?

just stumbled upon another golden 'oldie' ("February 20th, 2007") from the "Broken Toys" web site:
"Nation States And The Social Ganker
February 20th, 2007":
http://www.brokentoys.org/2007/02/20/nation-states-and-the-social-ganker/comment-page-1/#comments
http://www.brokentoys.org/2007/02/20/nation-states-and-the-social-ganker/comment-page-2/#comments
Some of the comments are definetely worth reading - and or thinking about - too ...
Just some more food for thought ...
Have a nice day / night.

[Warning! Thread necromancy ahead.]
recently revisited the "Broken Toys" web site:
http://www.brokentoys.org/
and stumbled upon some nice topics:
"Eve Players: Strictly For The Headstrong, Only For The Hardcore"
http://www.brokentoys.org/2011/03/09/eve-players-strictly-for-the-headstrong-only-for-the-hardcore/
[IMVHO some really entertaining and or highly amusing stuff, at least if you enjoy reading about RMT-related drama, hardcore players heavily 'investing' real life money into their hobby, etc.
"Aware of the dark side of RMT you should be, young padawan."]
"Early Access To Guild Drama"
http://www.brokentoys.org/2011/03/09/early-access-to-guild-drama/
["Aware of the dark side of guild drama you should be, young padawan."]
Have a nice day / night.

revisited the "Broken Toys" web site:
http://www.brokentoys.org/
scrolled down a bit and stumbled upon another nice topic:
"How To Grief GDC"
http://www.brokentoys.org/2011/03/08/how-to-grief-gdc/
The story about the ruthless indy developer who kind of ninja-looted / scammed his way to the gdc microphone made me laugh:
"win at all costs - and or by any means - 'powergamer' attitude" to the extreme.
"My preciousssss!" - "One bag of coins to 'pwn' them all."
Have a nice day / night.
